As someone that works for an organisation that develops almost 100% desktop applications and desktop form-factor web applications, I've been somewhat terrified of the new entrants into the workforce that started on phones as opposed to computers. It seems like nobody is taking their existence and eventual assumption of purchasing decision making powers seriously and I figure we'll suffer in the long-term as an organisation because of this.

I had been trying to tell myself that people still "sit down at a desktop to do work" to make myself feel better about our inaction over this it but that github is spending on mobile form factor makes me feel like I'm lying to myself about that.

What are people's general takes on this? I sway towards "in twenty years it will start to be a massive deal" but I struggle to find a convincing platform to soapbox on this to the organisation at large.
